< Genesis 9 >
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Pea naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Noa mo hono ngaahi foha, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou tupu, mo fakatokolahi, pea fakakakai ʻa māmani.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air; with all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered.
Pea ʻe ʻi he fanga manu kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻae manavahē mo e ilifia kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻi he fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻoe ʻatā, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he fonua, pea ki he ngaahi ika kotoa pē ʻoe tahi; kuo tuku kotoa pē ki homou nima.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
Ko e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue, ko hoʻo mou meʻakai ia; ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau mata kuo u foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Ka ko e kakano ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae moʻui, [ʻaia ]ko hono toto, ʻe ʻikai te mou kai ia.
5 And surely your blood, [the blood] of your lives, will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, will I require the life of man.
He ko e moʻoni, teu ʻekeʻi ʻae toto ʻa hoʻomou moʻui; teu ʻekeʻi ia ʻi he nima ʻoe fanga manu kotoa pē; pea mei he nima ʻoe tangata; teu ʻekeʻi ʻae moʻui ʻae tangata mei he nima ʻoe kāinga ʻoe tangata kotoa pē.
6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Ko ia ʻoku lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe tangata, ʻe lilingi hono toto ʻe he tangata: he naʻe ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻi he tatau ʻoe ʻOtua.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
Pea ko kimoutolu, ke mou tupu, pea fakatokolahi mo fanafanau lahi ʻi he fonua, pea tupu ke tokolahi ʻi ai.”
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻo pehē,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
“Vakai, ko au, ʻoku ou fokotuʻu ʻeku fuakava kiate kimoutolu, mo homou hako ʻe tupu fakaholo;
10 and with every living creature that is with you, the fowl, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
Pea ki he ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻae fanga manupuna, mo e fanga manu lalata, mo e fanga manu vao kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu; ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu atu mei he vaka, pea mo e fanga manu vao kotoa pē ʻe ʻi he fonua.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Pea te u fokotuʻu ʻeku fuakava mo kimoutolu; pea ʻe ʻikai toe motuhi ʻae kakano kotoa pē ʻe he ngaahi vai ʻo ha lōmaki; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha lōmaki ke fakaʻauha ʻa māmani.”
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, “Ko eni ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe fuakava kuo u fai mo kimoutolu mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ki he ngaahi toʻutangata taʻetuku:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
ʻOku ou ai ʻeku ʻumata ʻi he ʻao, pea ʻe fakaʻilonga ʻaki ia ʻae fuakava ʻiate au mo māmani.”
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
Pea ʻe pehē, “O kau ka ʻomi ʻae ʻao ki he fonua, ʻe hā mai ʻae ʻumata ʻi he ʻao:
15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Pea te u manatu ki heʻeku fuakava, ʻaia kuo u fai mo kimoutolu mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē; pea ʻe ʻikai toe hoko ʻae ngaahi vai, ko e lōmaki ke fakaʻauha ʻae kakano kotoa pē.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
Pea ʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻae ʻumata; pea te u vakai ki ai, koeʻuhi ke u manatu ki he fuakava taʻengata ʻae ʻOtua mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi māmani.”
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻOtua kia Noa, “Ko eni ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia kuo u fokotuʻu ʻiate au mo e kakano kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi māmani.”
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Noa, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu mei he vaka, ko Semi, mo Hami, mo Sefeti: pea ko Hami ko e tamai ʻa Kēnani.
19 These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.
Ko eni ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu ʻo Noa pea naʻe fakakakai ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻiate kinautolu.
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and planted a vineyard:
Pea naʻe kamata ʻa Noa ke tauhi ngoue, pea ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine:
21 and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
Pea inu ʻe ia ʻi he uaine, pea kona ai: pea naʻe telefua ia ʻi hono fale fehikitaki.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Hami, ko e tamai ʻa Kēnani, ki he telefua ʻo ʻene tamai, pea tala ʻe ia ki hono ongo tokoua ʻituʻa.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Semi mo Sefeti ʻae kofu, pea na ai ia ki hona uma, pea naʻa na fakaholomui, pea ʻufiʻufi ʻae telefua ʻo ʻena tamai, pea naʻe hanga kimui hona mata, pea naʻe ʻikai mamata ʻekinaua ki he telefua ʻo ʻena tamai.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
Pea naʻe ʻā ʻa Noa mei heʻene uaine, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe fai kiate ia ʻe hono foha kimui.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke malaʻia ʻa Kēnani. ʻE hoko ia ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ki hono kāinga.”
26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke monūʻia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo Semi; pea ʻe hoko ʻa Kēnani ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki.
27 God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
E fakalahi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Sefeti, pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Semi; pea ʻe hoko ʻa Kēnani ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki.”
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Noa hili ʻae lōmaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungeau ma nimangofulu.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
Pea naʻe hivangeau ma nimangofulu taʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Noa: pea pekia ia.
